Post-Digestion Conscious?

[ThroatofLFlynn]

I'm not sure if I can link it, but I saw an absorption comic on here recently where the prey, a day after being deigetest, reacted to the fact they were now fat on the pred. There was a speach bubble with their face showing their reaction and everything. I know that was probably meant as a gag, but it got me thinking about the idea of prey being conscious after being digested.

Honestly, I think I might like it more than the prey just dying. They have to spend their whole life now being a part of the pred, knowing that they are only fat on the pred's body and are trapped like that forever. It's sort of an extention of what I like about vore, that being the intimacy of being inside someone's belly as well as the permanence of change the prey goes through. Post-digestion consciousness exaggerates these highlights because the prey is aware of it all. They are aware they are a part of the pred's body and they are aware of the change they've gone through.

But you all tell me what you think! I curious what people have to say about this idea.

I think it's an interesting house rule for vore :3 I personally prefer reformation or oblivion.

I think I saw a comic like that: https://aryion.com/g4/view/1104139 The tag is called "sentient fat".

Less than a "rest of your life", sentient fat is more of an afterlife to me. Kinda like the prey's spirit hanging around the pred as a ghost, or like when you kill someone in Skyrim then put them inside a black soul gem and use them to enchant a sword. Except less torturous... usually. It can also work romantically, of course, for that "together forever" factor many fans enjoy. Having the prey remain unambiguously alive throughout the whole absorption process, like it's transformation, could also be done.

i play around with the concept a lot on my personal images and its one of my favorite kinks. Like, total domination, not only you sufered the humilliation of having been eaten, but now you are trapped within your pred's body permanently. On my images however i imply it as the prey being able to see trough the pred's eyes after digestion, and feeling every movement and everything the pred does as if it was their own body. but unable to affect their actions in any way. A silent observer taking a backseat in the predator's life. They can mentally speak with the pred, but they can just shut the prey's voice off if they don't want to hear them

Most artists/writers here don't usually go into depth as to what sentient fat experiences.

I don't usually use the concept, but I tend to assume that the prey's mind can communicate telepathically with the predator - and only the predator, until the latter figures out a way to set up an internal phone switchboard. They can feel the sensations of the body part they end up on - and that tactile sensation is all they get.

Naturally, this usually results in the victims continually pestering the predator to avoid going mad from boredom. Meanwhile, the predator quickly realizes that they shouldn't keep trapping prey unnaturally like this (ie. adding new voices to their head) if they don't want to go mad themselves.

Dammit. Afterlife. That's the word I was looking for. No clue how that skipped my mind :p

Oh god, I can imagine it, an overpowered invincible pred who gets constantly nagged by that one chatty prey they've eaten. "You really broke a sweat there bud. You should face a real challenge sometime. Planning to start a redemption arc anytime soon?"

For a niche option, there's also more classical afterlives, except containing everyone who has ever been eaten by a certain pred. Those are sometimes tagged "predscape". A pred I've written about possesses both, allowing preys to interface with the outside world through a body part of her choice (like there's some sort of "phone switchboard", as MasterGryph put it) then go back to whatever they were doing inside the celestial pred's personal paradise.

I'm surprised that you felt surprised by sentient fat, because for me it has always been one of the classic tropes of vore. Not very common, but definitly common enough to be known by all.

It's also definitly something that you can find outside of vore stuff, like with envy in fm and I think buu in dbz (idk I never watched this show).

There is definitly stuff to do with it. I've already talked a bit about solitary confinement in another thread, and the idea of the prey trolling the pred like a twitch chat is also quite funny.

[Squiddicus]

Oh, I find the whole idea complete and total nightmare fuel. Death is not an escape, at all. And depending on how long the pred lives, the victim has up to years of watching their own murderer (for all intents and purposes) carry on their lives, and likely witnessing the next predation. I wonder if slipping into madness is a mercy.

I suppose it should be said I do largely view vore through a horror lens most of the time.

[penitent2k]

It is not rare in more comedic style vore. No matter if its like a gag and it isn't clear what the prey is going through or if its actually being stuck as body fat forever, nevertheless, typically it isn't a trope that takes itself too seriously.

As a fan of TF I like it, I also like post-digestion consciousness in general, not necessarily absorption into fat only, including fading away in the intestines after days feeling themselves as just goop with no form, or even sentient disposal.

I've probably seen it elsewhere before, but this was the first time I acutally took note of it. It wasn't that surprising lol. I was surprised by how hot I found it though

[Phorcyz19]

I personally can't stand it, no idea why but it completely turns me off every time. Brains are weird like that

[ThroatofLFlynn]

Brains are weird like that

This whole site is a testament to that lol

[DrakeX]

its also very common thing seen in absorption escenarios, where the prey is keept alive in some way or form inside the preds body. Very rare to see done in main media though. (This was Dr Gero intended fate for Androids 17# and 18# in Dragon Ball, as they themselves confirmed in the DBS manga that they were alive and aware after their absorption by Cell and could see trough his eyes all the time. Wich means that if Cell haven't been defeated they would have been conscious prisoners as part of the bio android body forever.)

[FunnelVortex]

I don't do sentient fat (not a fan) and for the most part the prey's soul in my fatal scenarios go wherever they would otherwise end up (or oblivion, it's usually open). Buuuuuuuuut sometimes I toy with the idea of the prey's soul being stuck in the pred, not as fat or whatever but actually within the pred's soul itself.

But for the most part my stuff emphasizes on the finality of a fatal vore scenario and the prey goes to wherever you believe you go when you die (including nothing) unless otherwise stated. I prefer the sense of finality I get from the prey being digested.

This is a great story that has sentient fat, reformation, and energy drain/living battery.

I play with this concept a lot in writing and some of my game projects.

I think my favorite scenario is the prey being trapped as fat and gradually losing their concept of self. Their sentience slipping as they only think of themselves as bouncy flesh on their pred. Eventually they suffer an almost second death this time the person they were, their personality lost to only thoughts of sensation and motion.

I'm 50-50 on preds being aware of the prey's thoughts. Though it's sort of a hot idea for the prey to be able to wiggle the fat they're on and have that as the only interaction they can have with the physical world.

[TSaPA]

I've been toying with a scenario where the prey does this on purpose to just 'get away' for a while- like a guy who's supposed to be on vacation but keeps getting pestered by work and has trouble actually de-stressing has his girlfriend eat him and turn him into her boobs so he can just relax and be a passenger while she takes him around to see the sights and experience things through her.
